The unfolding crisis in Afghanistan is the focus of much of this week\'s programme.

As Afghan families arrive in the UK, we hear how religious communities are mobilising to support them and we speak to one refugee who landed here only last week. Christian charities co-ordinating the response share their concerns about the Government\'s resettlement scheme. And Ravi Singh, CEO of Khalsa Aid, tells William Crawley about his struggle to help 300 Sikhs and Hindus who took refuge in the Karte Parwan Gurdwara in Kabul as the Taliban swept into the city.

"We must give the Taliban a chance and not be terrified by Sharia\\u201d says Khola Hasan of the Islamic Sharia Council as she debates with the Afghan film maker Dayanna Saqeb-Jamal. But has the Taliban really changed?

Cardinal Vincent Nichols examines our moral responsibility as Afghans are killed in the crush outside Kabul airport and he questions the Government\'s figure of allowing only 20,000 Afghan refugees saying we should welcome Afghans to this country.

And, as the inaugural \\u2018Hundred\\u2019 cricket tournament reaches its climax this weekend, we report on an initiative to get more Muslim women playing cricket and speak to Britain\'s first hijabi cricketer, Scotland bowler Abtaha Maqsood.
